I know that you probably won't be able to respond to this, and that's fine, but I hope you read it and discuss it anyway:

Do you guys see how well the userbase responds when you take the time to ask them (i.e. the mod council) beforehand about features, and then take the time to work their suggestions in *before* you release it (i.e. the on/off toggle)?

I know that a lot of things you guys have no control over, that your bosses up high tell you to implement something, and you kind of just have to do it. But I really hope you guys take every opportunity you can to share feedback with your superiors about how much better product releases go when you solicit feedback first.

Councillor here: they do. They really do.

Reddit is currently doing that with the reddit talk feature, so I suspect someone is driving for this change in company policy.
